The thing that makes this series so likable, yet not-well known like Naruto, is the fact that it seems to have no real plot other than Jing finding some treasure to steal and getting the girl. However, this isn't the point that I'm trying to make.
If someone were to read the books, the sequel series as well, and watch the series, including the OVA, you'd notice some funny facts in the series. Like, for one, every single character, location and term, except for two, are all based on alcoholic drinks. Most of the episode plots and the OVA plot are all based on stories, locations, or some other meanings that existed sometime in the world. Pretty cool, huh?
All in all, I loved this series very much. Even though to most people this may seem like a 'kid's show' on the outside, it has never ending surprises that almost always make you laugh and wonder, 'what will Jing steal next?'. The only disappointing part about the series? The fact that it's so short and the OVA non existent. I hope that later on, the sequel book series of KOBJ gets made into an anime. I would love to see what happens next.
